Diddy Has Paid Sting $2,000 Per Day for Failing to Clear Sample; Payments End in 2053

Publishing doesn't work this way, most likely Sting publishing company which is Sony/ATv takes its percentage and give sting the rest of his publishing. I think a good example of people who don't make money off there music is DJ Khaild, when he sampled Santana he got know of that publishing because he used his song. So anytime its played all of the royalty goes to Santana or Sting.

I also think that we over represent how much these hip hop and rap artist make. I think we over inflate the numbers a lot.

They performed the damn song together in 1997. How the fukk was this an oversight?

It was a huge hit breh.

puff: it'll mean the world to me if you sung.
sting: i'll be there to show my support.
puff: sharing the stage with such a legend
sting: i'm a fan of hiphop....loved Tupac
puff:

puff: and know that you will be paid for that sample.

$2,000 x 365 = $730,000

Until 2053

For Puff $730,000 yearly is nothing .

This isn't nearly as simple as you are making it out to be.

How? This is how music was made before sampling. It's not that complex.

Dont Sting the wrestler also gotta pay him?

[tuckgod]

That's $40,150,000 total

Sting out here raping nikkas and his whole career is based on ripping off black artists.

I thought Diddy would've been smarter than this. Dude will be paying for Sting's grandkids, grandkids

Diddy is damn near a billionaire he’s not missing that money. If I could sample a sting song tone a number one record and give him all the royalties I’d do it in a heartbeat. You guys act like Diddy and Juice Wrld haven’t made their own money in other ways from those songs successes.

This is why diddy's more than happy to have that gig as a marketing person for CIROC

I don’t know how anyone who is a shark on Puff’s level forgets to clear a sample on one of Sting’s top 3 hits.

He didn’t “forget” to clear it. He knew what it was and didn’t want to pay a hefty upfront nor have to stall to ask.l and possibly get denied. He made the song and his album went platinum off the success of the song and he tour the world from that. Diddy has made plenty of in other ways from that songs success.

Black people lawst. Now back in the day white people would steal black people's music all the time and never paid royalties. Once black people started getting in the industry more they make these laws so you can't take they shyt.


Should have never let these bytch ass cacs out their caves.

 

[International Playa]

In the 90’s artist and labels got caught off guard but what in the world made juice world think it was okay to use someone’s music with clearing it first

Maybe he done it intended for a mixtape song

It's time to stop sampling and get producers that know how to play instruments and keyboards.
